Can 'The Vampire Diaries' Survive Without Nina Dobrev?

With The Vampire Diaries losing its leading lady Nina Dobrev at the end of this season, many fans are worried about the future of the show.

But Executive Producer Julie Plec actually approached the topic of losing one of the main trio (Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder being the other two) last summer during 2014 San Diego Comic-Con.

“I think the show will go as long as the actors want the show to go,” Julie told E! News. “You know, look, everybody’s under contract. I know that we’ve got plans for season six, we’ve got plans for season seven. I know that our bosses have plans for seasons eight, nine, and 10. I said I want to be part of it as long as I know I could keep telling good stories and as long as the ensemble people that I work with want to be there and are committed and dedicated. So, so far so good, you know. We’ll see how long we can stay, doing it well. We’ll make sure that we don’t start sucking.”
